Frequently Asked Questions
SoftWave™ Tissue Regeneration Technology (TRT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses unfocused, low-energy acoustic waves to stimulate the body's natural healing response. Unlike traditional shockwave therapy, SoftWave technology delivers a broader, unfocused wave to treat a larger area.
The technology works by emitting acoustic waves into the treated area, which increases blood flow, stimulates cellular repair, and accelerates the healing process. It activates the body's stem cells and enhances tissue regeneration without damaging the skin.
It is used for a wide range of conditions, including but not limited to tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, erectile dysfunction, chronic wounds, osteoarthritis, and muscle pain.
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the treatment. The sensation is often described as a series of rapid tapping or pressure, and the intensity can be adjusted to ensure patient comfort.
A single session typically lasts between 10-20 minutes, depending on the size and severity of the treated area.
The number of sessions varies based on the condition and its severity. Many patients experience significant improvement after 1-3 sessions, but more chronic conditions may require additional treatments.
Side effects are typically mild and may include temporary redness, swelling, or tenderness in the treated area. Most of these effects resolve within a few hours to days after the session.
While SoftWave™ TRT is safe for most people, it is not recommended for pregnant women, individuals with malignancies in the treatment area, or those with blood clotting disorders.
No, anesthesia is not required due to the non-invasive nature of the treatment and the minimal discomfort experienced.
Yes, it can be part of a comprehensive treatment plan and is often used in conjunction with physical therapy, medication, or other non-invasive treatments.
Some patients report immediate relief after the first session, but typically, improvements are observed over a period of weeks as the body naturally heals itself.
Coverage varies by insurance provider and policy. It's important to check with your insurance company to understand your benefits.
Traditional shockwave therapy uses focused high-energy waves targeting specific areas, while SoftWave™ TRT uses unfocused, low-energy waves to stimulate a broader treatment area, potentially enhancing tissue regeneration across a wider range.
Clinical studies and patient reports indicate a high success rate in reducing pain and improving function for a variety of conditions. However, outcomes can vary based on individual factors.
